Renishaw 15 mm DI periscope assembly Installation guide

Brand: Renishaw

Model: 15 mm DI periscope assembly

Type: Installation guide

The 15 mm DI periscope assembly

(A-5225-0634) contains two mirrors which

increase the offset between measurement and

reference beams of the RLD10-X3-DI differential

interferometer detector head by 15 mm (0.59").

This 15 mm offset produces a beam separation

of 29 mm (1.14") as opposed to the 14 mm

(0.55") beam separation provided by the

differential interferometer alone.

correct procedure to install the periscope

assembly.

Installation

Three off tapped M5 x 12 deep fixing holes

must be provided, as shown in Figure 2. The

periscope assembly is then mounted to the

machine wall in the required position using

the screws and hex key provided. Once the

assembly is secured in position, the

RLD10-X3-DI differential interferometer should

be mounted and aligned according to the

instructions provided in the

RLE fibre optic laser

encoder installation manual

Optical cleaning

It is recommended that optical surfaces be

cleaned only when necessary, If the signal

strength is low, first ensure that beam alignment

is optimised, as this may be the cause of the

reduced signal strength.

Mirrors should only be cleaned with a soft,

lint-free cloth.
